Description

LT3760

8-Channel 100mA 

High Voltage LED Driver

DC1573A is an 8-Channel 100mA High Voltage LED Driver 

featuring the LT

®

3760. The LT3760 drives up to 100mA 

per string and has a maximum LED string voltage of 45V. 

DC1573A is set at 1MHz switching frequency for smallest 

inductor and capacitor size as well as maximum PWM 

dimming performance. Overvoltage protection is set at 

55V in case the LEDs are removed from the circuit. If the 

LEDs are opened, the 

FAULT

 terminal output flag goes 

low and reports the fault condition. The V

IN

 terminal is 

powered from 10V to 14V input separated from the 24V 

PV

IN

 supply for best thermal performance. If one or more 

of the 8 LED channels is not used, its LED pin or terminal 

should be tied to LED+ to disable it. Multiple channels can 

be used in parallel for higher LED current by tying their 

LED1-8 pins together.

The LT3760 data sheet gives a complete description of 

the part, operation and applications information. The data 

sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual 

for demonstration circuit 1573A. The LT3760 is assembled 

in a small 28-lead FE (4.4mm TSSOP) package with a 

thermally enhanced ground pad. Proper board layout is 

essential for maximum thermal performance. See the 

Layout Considerations section in the data sheet.
